Connect Android MDM

OpsMerge manages Android devices through Google's Android Management API (AMAPI). Each organisation you manage is bound to its own Android Enterprise — a free Google-managed container that OpsMerge provisions through Google's standard signup flow. You sign in once with a Google account; no Google Workspace subscription is required.

Android MDM is in early-access beta. If you don't see the MDM section in Settings → MDM, it isn't enabled for your tenant yet — ask us in the Founder Discord to be added.

Before you start

• A dedicated email that is not already a Google account (see the warning below). It does not need to be the account used on the devices.
• The mdm.manage permission (admins have it by default).

Use a fresh email — not a personal one

Google's enterprise signup rejects any email that already has a Google account with the error "Email address is associated with an existing consumer account. Please use a different email." Your own everyday email (and any address you've used with another MDM such as NinjaOne or Intune) usually already has a Google login attached, so it won't work.

Use a dedicated, shared mailbox that has never been used to sign in to Google — for example [email protected] or [email protected]. That email becomes the admin identity for this client's Android Enterprise, so:

• pick a shared mailbox you control, not a personal account;
• use a different email for each client you onboard (one email = one enterprise).

Connect

1. Go to Settings → MDM and open the Android tab.
2. Click Connect with Google. A new tab opens on Google's enterprise signup page.
3. Sign in with the Google account that should own this enterprise and accept the management terms.
4. Google returns you to OpsMerge automatically and the connection flips to Connected.

If you close the tab before finishing, just click Continue with Google on the Android tab to pick up where you left off — a half-finished signup never blocks you.

What "Connected" means

Once connected, OpsMerge holds a binding to the Android Enterprise. You can now enrol devices and apply policies. Nothing is installed on any device until you enrol it.

Disconnecting

Disconnect on the Android tab tears down the enterprise. This is destructive: it wipes the work profile on every enrolled device and cannot be undone. You'll be asked to type the Enterprise ID to confirm.
